Look for it tomorrow (Monday). I had an eleven hour day on the railroad
today. This thanks to the day starting off sunny and ending up with a near

I always enjoyed DC back in the trolley days. I was just in high school
then but made many weekend trips during those years to see the monuments,
the government buildings and ride the PCCs.
